I'm not really sure if the extra work and link dependencies are worth
the warning, but since I *need* to do something similar for Windows, why
not have it here as well.
This is quite complex, actually. The end goal is: when I request an
800x600 window, it should create a window of the same physical size as
an 800x600 window would have on a system default DPI. After that, the
actual window size (for events), framebuffer size and DPI scaling value
(to correctly scale the contents relative to window size) are
platform-dependent.
On macOS and iOS, the DPI scaling is done simply by having the
framebuffer twice the size while the window size (for events) remains
the same. Easy to support.
On Linux, a non-DPI-aware app is simply having a really tiny window. The
worst behavior of all systems. Next to that, SDL_GetDisplayDPI() returns
physical DPI, which is quite useless as the value is usually coming from
Xorg display autodetection and is usually just 96, unless one goes extra
lengths and supplies a correct value via an xorg.conf. The DE is using a
different, user-configurable value for scaling the visuals and this one
is available through a Xft.dpi property. To get it, we dlopen() self and
dlsym() X11 symbols to get this property. If this fails, it might mean
the app doesn't run on X11 (maybe Wayland, maybe something's just messed
up, who knows) and then we fall back to SDL_GetDisplayDPI(). Which is
usually very wrong, so this is also why I'm implementing two ways to
override this -- either via the app Configuration or via a command-line
/ environment variable.
On Emscripten / HTML5, all that's needed is querying device pixel ratio
and then requesting canvas size scaled by that. The event coordinates
are relative to this size, so there's not much more to handle. Physical
canvas size on the page is controlled via CSS, so no issues with stuff
being too big or too small apply -- in the worst case, things may
be blurry.
On Windows, the DPI scaling is something in-between -- if the app
presents itself as DPI-aware, window size is treated as real pixels (so
one gets really what is asked for, i.e. an 800x600 window on a system
with 240 DPI is maybe four centimeters wide). If not, the window is
upscaled (and blurried) by the compositor. In order to have correct
behavior, I first need to query if the app is DPI-aware and then either
scale the requested size or not (to avoid extra huge windows when the
app is not marked as DPI aware). That will be done in a later commit.
Because these are static, there can be various problems when linking
them later, so better to test that as early as possible.
This was done in the magnum-bootstrap CI setup before, but that's often
too late to discover problems.
* Making use of the builtin support in CMake 3.7, the old toolchain
files are no longer needed and thus removed.
* Switched to Clang and libc++, as it has better C++11 support. GCC
toolchain support will phase out in the following commits.
* Having only one PKGBUILD, building for Android ARM64 now.
* Updated the building docs to reflect this.
Because the library still links to the old crappy opengl32.dll, we need
to load all symbols above OpenGL 1.1, not just those that are above
OpenGL ES 2.0/3.0.
Otherwise the ANativeActivity_onCreate() won't get exported and the
app will fail to start. Of course they just don't care and produce
crappy code that apparently nobody uses in production environment.
Toggles between using CGL/GLX/WGL (requiring running graphical desktop
environment) or EGL (without display attachment) for command-line
utilities and GL tests. Also exposed to the user through
MAGNUM_TARGET_HEADLESS CMake and preprocessor variables.
Uses just EGL and no other platform toolkit, meaning that the same code
can be used on all platforms if the drivers support it. Should be
working for OpenGL ES for most drivers, however desktop OpenGL is
supported only on NVidia since version 355.
As with Corrade, this is not exactly backwards compatible, but for
common use case without OBJECT libraries this should not be a problem.
In any case, recreate the build dir and update your copy of all
Find*.cmake modules to avoid weird things happening.
User-facing changes:
* Documentation of all Find*.cmake modules converted to
reStructuredText to follow official CMake guidelines.
* The newfangled way to use the libraries is to link to Magnum::Shaders
instead of adding ${MAGNUM_SHADERS_INCLUDE_DIRS} to include path and
linking to ${MAGNUM_SHADERS_LIBRARIES}.
* The old ${MAGNUM_*_LIBRARIES} are deprecated and now just expand to
Magnum::* target. Use the target directly. These are also enabled
only when building with MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED.
* The old ${MAGNUM_*_INCLUDE_DIRS} are removed as the Magnum::* targets
cover these too.
Internal changes:
* Global state such as include_directories() was replaced with
target-specific settings.
